Greetings!
SPRING IS HERE!
We will introduce you to famous line flowers such as Bells of Ireland, Snapdragon, Larkspur, and Delphinium.
|
 |
Bells Of Ireland
|
 Bells
of Ireland is a lightly scented plant that grows 24 to 36 inches
tall.The true flowers,
tiny, fragrant and white, are deep within the bells. The popular
names alluding to Ireland have been applied to this plant only
because of the green color of the bells, not because the plant
comes from Ireland. Also, Bells-of-Ireland makes interesting and long-lasting
cut flowers, and have additional value as dried flowers for
winter

Snapdragon
|
Their large, blossom-laden flower
heads are faintly fragrant and come in a wide assortment of
bright colors. The vertical flower spikes, opening gradually from
the bottom to the top, are available in two heights: dwarf varieties
grow to about 10 inches while the taller types grow to a height
of 18-24 inches. A single snapdragon plant may produce seven
or eight blossom spikes in the course of a summer.

Larkspur
|
Larkspur flowers are almost as complex as the Orchids. The colorful Larkspur blooms cover a spectrum from white to blue to violet. Larkspur Flowers
are irregularly shaped and bloom in a loose, vertical grouping along
the upper end of the plant's main stalk. Larkspur is actually a very
complex flower consisting of both petals and sepals. The flowers come in a variety of colors including spikes of red, pink,
violet and white. As a result of their generally similar floral
structure, as well as the absence of genetic barriers to intercrossing,
species of Larkspur are known to hybridize in many different
combinations.

| |
Delphinium
|
 Delphinium flowers may be single or double. Blue
is the most common color, however red, pink,
white, violet, and yellow flowered species and
varieties also are available. Many flowers have
white or black centers or "bees." Flowers occur in
attractive spikes with numerous flowers on each
spike. The spikes of most delphiniums make
attractive, long-lasting cut flowers.
